oh come on, this movie exaggerates


I used to live in Rio and Sao Paulo, it wasn't THAT bad
this movie it's as exaggerating as Boys in the Hood and Menace to Society

reply

I DO live in Rio de Janeiro and it doesn't exaggerate.

reply

I lived in Rio for several years, and I think this movie doesn't exaggerate at all.

At school we often had to throw ourselves to the ground when we heard shots nearby, and this was in Copacabana, a middle class neighborhood.

reply

No.
It doesn't exaggerates.
Period.
And *beep* you.

reply

most movies about subject like that exaggerate. It's nothing new.

reply

It does not exaggerate in the least. If anything, it actually tones it down. Unless of course you're one of the "filhinho de papai" (loose translation, trust fund baby), then you're only responsible for it without having to see it, as very clearly enunciated in the film.
Go on down the ML on any night in Sampa or Rio, and come see the "exaggeration."

reply

I love the fact that you are probably a "filinho de papai" yourself.

reply

No, unlike you, I work for a living. Struck a nerve there huh, the best argument your privileged self can come up with is an attempted (and failed) personal attack instead of making a cogent argument.

Mandou bem. Esses message boards estão cheios de moleques que só sabem insultar e provocar.

"Unlike you"

Yes, unlike me.. lol
Ok, do you know me?

reply

One more thing - You are a hypocrite.

Yes, you are a "filhinho de papai" - You are going to tell me that you came from the slums of Rio? Learned English by yourself? You payed for your own studies in a developing country?

PS: I am not even Brazilian. I just like the country a lot

reply

Chill, kids.

Because at least in prison and at least in death, you know, I wouldn't be in *beep* Bruges.
